DOODLES DOG GROOMING

I have a female miniature double doodle and have had my dog groomed by Faby for over two years now and am extremely pleased about her business. I would highly recommend her for your dogs grooming needs and rate her with five stars.

Faby did a great job with Tebow, who was a mangy fur ball before I brought him in. She is caring with a strong attention to detail. Most importantly, better than my previous groomer. Would highly recommend!

After searching high and low for the perfect groomer, we finally found Faby—and what a difference she makes. While other groomers left him stressed, Fabys gentle touch and peaceful space transform our nervous pup into a happy boy. Its amazing to pick him up looking gorgeous and more relaxed than when he arrived. For pet parents of sensitive dogs, Fabys service is truly one-of-a-kind.

It was such a beautiful experience to find you as Athena’s first groomer! She is a completely different puppy- in the BEST way! I was so nervous for her first grooming experience but you made it such a sweet and kind one. We appreciate you so much!! The before and after pictures are so unreal because she looks so different!! Can’t wait to go back and see you for our second grooming! :) 💗

Faby did a marvelous job with our 2 year old cavalier King Charles, Winnie! Never having brought her to a groomer before, we were a little nervous about her first trip… also like many, our cavy is very clingy! I immediately felt comfortable with the groomer and genuinely felt she took the time to make this a non-anxiety provoking experience for both my dog and myself! Will definitely be returning!☺️

OMG!!! Faby did an excellent job on my Cairo!!! She was very knowledgeable and skilled with working with my puppy. We are definitely clients for life.

We had a wonderful experience when we took our 4 month old Goldendoodle to Faby for his first grooming. Faby was very patient and did such a great job. She is very skilled at what she does and truly cares about her puppy clients. Highly recommend!!

I’m so Thrilled that I found Faby. My Oliver just loves her. She is so kind and gentle with him. We went to Florida for the winter. The groomers down there I did not like then at all. They were telling me that my little boy was aggressive and I needed to give him some medicine to calm him down. I thought Faby would have told me if she had an issue with him. When we came back. I took him back to Faby and she said he was a very good boy No behavioral problems what so ever. She is the best groomer there is she loves your pet likes it’s her own .She does her best and they come out beautiful. I won’t take my pup to anyone else.Love You Faby!! Oliver gives you bunches of kisses.ThanksCathy

Fabulous Faby, Finally a groomer who knows how to groom a doodle and satisfy her customers. I feel serene now when our doodle is being groomed. Thank you so much 🙏

This was my first time bringing my 6 month old golden doodle to a groomer. Needless to say, both he and I were nervous. Faby put me at ease as soon as I entered. She walked me through the process and slowly introduced him to the noises and feelings of grooming. The first experience for a puppy is so important - it sets the tone for their future grooming appointments. Faby was professional, patient, and super kind! My puppy came back with such a beautiful cut and was fresh and clean. I will definitely be booking with Doodles Dog Grooming in the future!

Fabby is truly an excellent groomer. She is precise with her work, knowledgeable about what best cut fits your dog’s breed, cordial when listening to your request, offers valuable advice and the care that she gives our puppy is amazing. She is THE BEST. Highly recommended.

As the owner of two golden doodle puppies, I can say without a doubt, DOODLE’S Dog Grooming is hands down the best. As crazy as this may sound, we drive from Boston to Saratoga to have Fabi groom our dogs. She is patient, and always offers great advice and tips. Excellent all around!

Faby did a perfect job with my puppy’s first haircut! Can’t thank her enough for being so kind and helpful !!

I brought my toy sized poodle in to see Faby at Doodles Dog Grooming which I was led to believe was an established company but upon arrival I was shocked to see this was a house but once I walked in and saw the grooming setup I was reassured and left my sweet girl in your arms. The groom went fine nothing special but I was beyond disappointed at the customer service I recieved. Faby was not only rude but was disrespectful and degrading. I usually try to see the best in people and wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt but after the way I was treated I will not be coming back to this so called business.

I found Doodles Grooming by looking online. Everyone local to me either wasnt taking new clients or were booked into late May. Ive had my sweet Oscar groomed@ Petsmart twice and was advised he was too wiggly.Faby is beyond fabulous 👌Oscar came out to me looking like he was ready for a photo shoot. Of course the little stinker wanted to sit and roll. Poor Faby grabbed him up so quick😄Truly cant thank Doodles Grooming and Faby Schmalz enough.5 stars isnt enough, 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕💗Michelle Fletcher & Oscar 💚

I used Faby for the first time today and was pleasantly impressed. I love that her shop is in the back of her home so my pup was the only one there. It was very clean and kept. My little tater tot looks absolutely adorable and he wasn’t stressed at all even though he is a high anxiety dog. Thanks, Faby. So happy I found you!

After searching for many months and having a bad experience at another groomer, we finally found the best around! Faby is amazing and she made our 6 month old Toby the cutest doodle around;-) We are very comfortable leaving our little guy in her care. Highly recommend!! Thank you Faby for a great experience!!

The house had a very strong odor of urine. Im sure the owner Faby will try to deny this and claim this is cyberbullying and slander as she does with every negative review she receives. Just be warned if you like your dog to be groomed in a clean and sanitary place, this is not the place for you.

Doodles grooming did an excellent nail service for our anxious pup, we keep coming back our fur baby groomer is amazing.

Faby is absolutely amazing. She really takes her times and cares about my dogs. Highly recommend!

Amazing groomer! Been bringing my dog since fall 2022 freshman year! Amazing and relatable service! The groomer is like family to me now!

Faby has taken great care of my dog Teddy. He looks adorable after grooming and I know she is taking care of the details such as his nails and ears. Thanks Faby!

Faby did an incredible job on my dog Chico! Chico is a small dog that is very anxious around new people. Faby was extremely patient & gentle with my dog. He looks amazing. Thanks Faby!

Doodles does an exceptional job with our pup! We recommend Faby a million times over!

Faby provides excellent service. My poodle never looked better. She is an expert in her field and I am very picky about who grooms my dog.

I received fantastic service! My doggy looked amazing and Faby is the sweetest. Thank you!

Our almost 2-year old ShihTzu had his first grooming at Doodles yesterday and we are very happy! Faby is knowledgeable and genuinely cares. We appreciated that she sent pictures throughout the grooming as first time clients it was reassuring. We most definitely plan to return and would recommend Doodles to others looking for reputable and caring groomers for their dogs.

I moved here 2 years ago, and this was the first place that I found affordable who does an amazing job. My dog looked professionally groomed and not chopped. I had an amazing groomer where I lived before who did sizzer and shaving cuts. This was the first groomer who came close. My dog is old and wasn’t shaking and nervous. Fab has great knowledge in what she does and really cares about your pet. I highly recommend her. SR

Our 4 month Bernedoodle Kora had such a great experience and looks so soft, fluffy and manicured. Faby was very thorough with her grooming and suggestions for styling. We also appreciate her coordinating with us to schedule an appointment.

Our Mini Goldendoodle puppy Duffy needed his first day of beauty when he was 5 months old. Being so young and hyper as only a puppy can be, we weren’t sure if Doodles Grooming would be able to control him long enough to bathe, clip and trim. As soon as we entered the Parlor, the owner Fanny Schmaltz, took control. Her touch seemed to calm him immediately. She has a way with dogs that is gentle but controlling. When we picked Duffy up he looked fantastic. A beautiful trim that didn’t take away the character of a Goldendoodle look. He smelled a lot better also. We highly recommend Faby of Doodles Grooming for any of your dog’s needs.Martin and Sally

Best haircut our mini goldendoodle has gotten in Saratoga. Faby was easy to work with and professional throughout. Our dog came home clean, handsome and in a great mood. Highly recommended!

Brought our 4 month old golden doodle puppy to get his 1st grooming. She was professional, kind, and I had no fears about leaving him in her care. When I picked him up he looked amazing! We were so happy with how gorgeous he looked and how happy he was, not to mention how incredibly soft his fur felt. We will be returning again!

We were visiting Saratoga Springs & did know any groomers for our dogs (Golden Doodle & Standard Poodle). We were so lucky to find Faby. She treated them like they were hers. Very professional groomer. Knew exactly what needed to be done. We could tell by our dogs’ behavior when we picked them up they felt comfortable with her. Beautiful location. Fair rate. Will definitely return.

UPDATE: Hi Faby, please stop lying.UPDATE: 10/2/23Faby, thanks for showing your true colors to me, the world, and any potential victims who decide to leave their dogs with you. And for thinking you know so much about me. One thing’s for sure… I live in your mind rent free.Let’s correct a few statements from you shall we?1. Why did we send records twice? Because you could not understand that our dog was up to date on all her shots despite your education to the point we had to circle it for you.2. We didnt call you, you called us. We asked you if you crate dogs before or after working on them. A general question any dog lover would have. You go on to give a long winded speech similar to your online tantrums about how you know best and youre the best groomer.3. We NEVER told you how to blow dry our dog. We told you how we wanted her to look yet you twist the words to make it sound worse then it is.4. You were the one that greeted us outside and told us to come in yet you are also the one that got very upset because we were asking YOU questions before leaving you with OUR dog. Our dog is neither neglected nor dirty. What is dirty is your attitude and business practices and whats neglected are your manners.We are very thankful we did not leave our dog with you. You seem to be a very disturbed woman.And on another note, dont ever disrespect my wife.I got my receipts lady...I am not the one.FOR THE DOG LOVERS: If you love and care about how your furbabies are treated then maybe think twice about taking them to this woman. Apparently you cant ask ANY questions because then she gets upset and offended.UNHINGED!I would not recommend getting your dog groomed here!Where to begin? Let’s go over me and my wife’s experience.We called her earlier in the morning to ask a few simple questions. One being, do you crate the dogs and if she could call us 30min-1 hour before our dog was ready so we can come pick her up.We showed up on time to our 12:30pm appointment. Her workspace is in the back of her garage which wasn’t specified so it took us a bit until the groomer came out and led the way to the tiny room.As soon as we arrive she already seemed stressed out and in a rush. She was speaking very quickly and began aggressively brushing our 16lb dog telling us that doodles must be groomed x amount of times a day etc… We show her a reference photo of what the ideal look/cut we are looking for is and she says to send it to her as she “doesn’t have time to look at it now”. Why don’t you? After all we blocked an appointment time for this very thing.While she is still aggressively brushing our dog we ask her not to blow out the fur when drying as we wanted to keep a curly look instead of a straight hair look. This was followed by her saying in a very hostile manner “ I am not other groomers. There is only one way to groom a dog.”My wife politely asks her to please lower her voice as the room we are in is very small. She then goes “Honestly, you are asking for too much. I’ll just give her back to you. I don’t want to do business with you.”I kept explaining to her that if we are to be paying customers we have a right to advise her on what it is we would like our dog to look like.I fully appreciate the fact that this is the right of any business to refuse service to a person. However, it does not entitle her to be rude, patronizing, and belligerent.After we walked out she proceeded to take out her phone and record us. Which was completely unnecessary. I hope this isn’t everyones experience, however, it was ours.I would advise ANYONE who wants their dog groomed to seek service elsewhere.

Always very professionalDoes a great jobAbbie has never looked so good!!!

Faby does such a great job with our pup. A good doodle cut is hard to find! Our pup (who is nervous by nature) is very comfortable with her as well. Worth the drive!

We knew we were in the right place right at the greeting. Doodle’s had been recommended to us by a neighbor who is owned by our dog’s best friend, Nova. Our girl, Maddie, a Min Schnauzer has been very uneasy with other groomers in her young life. We had been told she was difficult, uncooperative, etc. and that she needed “remedial” conditioning. Faby reacted to that by getting down on the floor with our girl who quickly was sitting in Faby’s lap. We left hopeful. When we returned Maddie was shiny and clean, trimmed nicely , and calm. Our girl is a Min Schnauzer who leans toward matting and being stubborn. We have found our groomer! We highly recommend!

Faby is wonderful! I brought my two cockapoos for a much needed grooming. It was the first time with Faby and she did a great job. She is caring and professional. They both look adorable. Thank you Faby!!

We were able to get a same day appointment. Faby was so kind to us and our pup. She really took her time to make our dog feel calm and comfortable. She was also so kind to send pictures during the appointment as we are new clients. Would highly recommend!

Faby was just marvelous with our dog. Not only was she flexible when I got waylaid, but she also did a fabulous job. I had never gotten so many compliments on our dog’s haircut! My mother, my father, my sister, and my husband have all said on multiple occasions how this is the best haircut hes ever had. LOL. Thanks so much and we will see you again soon.

Our dog has been groomed here twice and we are so thrilled with her work. She is really gentle with our boy, and he looks the best he has ever looked! Currently booking our third appointment with Faby. 😊

Called at about 9:40pm, expecting to get sent to voicemail, to ask if she worked with cats. Let me just say before I answer if she does, that she is the KINDEST woman I’ve ever had the please of speaking with. She unfortunately does not work with cats but had so much useful knowledge to give me. While maintaining over a 20 minute phone call, she was helpful, very sweet, and it was clear to me over the phone, that she was (or would be) the best person for the job. Trust me when I say, she will take care of you. Even sent me links after our phone call to kitten supplies for at home grooming and care! When I get a new pup, she will be the one for me. Thank you for being so kind!

Amazing groomer! She is patient and loving with my puppy Bella. Always does a great job even when Bella wont stay still. As a first time dog owner, I am not very knowledgeable about pups but Ive learned so much and will continue with Trendy Paws as long as we are in the area.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Very professional and great with my pup! No detail goes unnoticed! ❤️😊

5/5! Faby is so nice and she really cares about your pet! We brought our Cavi to her for his first grooming appointment ever and we were beyond pleased!

My dog has been going to Faby for over a year and we could not be happier with her service! Faby always does a great job. She listens to what you want and she is so good with the dogs. I highly recommend Faby and her services!Tracey Tanner

Pictures talk more than words. Meg looks beautiful. Thank you, Faby.

Fabby took her time to explain what she thought would be the best cut for my dog. She listened to my concerns and was eager to make sure that my dog was comfortable with her before starting to groom her to insure that the dog had a good experience.

Faby is Professional wonderful and very receptive kind and knows the quality of what it is to be a caretaker of dogs. She explained everything perfectly, answered all questions without hesitation. The end results were spectacular.

It was our first time using Trendy paws. Faby was very friendly, professional, and did a great job with our dog Lucy. We have booked Lucy’s next appointment already! Thanks Faby 😊

My pup always looks beautiful after picking her up! Faby is sweet and gentle with her. Highly recommend!

Very unprofessional and would not recommend coming here with your dogs. I regret taking my dog here.

We took our Wheaten Scottie there to be groomed yesterday....she was so kind and caring and did a beautiful job. So thankful we found her. Bailey was happy as well, larger facilities make him nervous.

Faby did an AMAZING job!! Super knowledgeable and taught me different things I can do to keep my golden doodle groomed. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Our 6 month old petite mini goldendoodle looked beautiful after her grooming with Faby. We will be sure to use her every time!

I couldn’t be more happy with the services here! She accommodates my hectic work schedule and is very patient with my dog who is not easy to groom. Her work is comparable if not superior to that of bigger businesses. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of dog grooming services!

Faby recently cut my Labradoodle‘s hair and did a fabulous job. I don’t see myself letting any other groomer cut my dogs hair. She knows doodles inside out, and I don’t mind driving 3 1/2 hours from Boston to Saratoga. Thanks Faby see you in 5 weeks!

First time using this dog groomer for my 2 Havanese. Faby was nice, professional and she did an awesome job. I recommend her highly.

We took our 5 month old cavapoo for her first haircut and we were so happy with the cut! A fresh new pup! Definitely recommend!

Faby was patient but professional with my puppy. She took real good care of her and made her look like a beauty

I love Doodles for my westiepoo. Peppermint goes inside happily and always comes out beautifully groomed. I’m so glad I find them in Saratoga!

Personable and timely service. My dog always looks so good when I pick him up. Thanks for doing such a great job Faby!!

Very pleased with my little boys hair cut and nails trimmed. So handsome!!Exactly what I wanted and only 2 hours.

So thankful to have found this groomer she is so bubbly and very caring about your dog Angel was not traumatized she was beautiful when she got done with her I have finally found a groomer that I trust I felt like I had known her for years cant wait to take Angel back for her next appointment

Faby is amazing. She does quality work and is always very friendly.

Our pet was in need of a grooming session, this company accommodated our schedule and did a wonderful job with our pet poodle! Would recommend to anyone!

My Molly dog LOVES Faby which speaks volumes to me! Her work’s impeccable and she couldn’t be more pleasant!!!

Knowledgeable in her craft, friendly, helpful, and a pleasure to have crossed paths with.

My dogs first time was such a lovely experience , and an educational one as well!I can’t remember the last time my dog looked so beautiful!

Spectacular experience. My animals enjoy getting groomed. We call it fluffed and puff and excited when I mention it.

Very satisfied with grooming quality. Appreciate the individual attention and convenience. Fairly priced in a very nice setting.

My first time and my older dog ( and I) had a great experience!

Faby is great! Best groomer in town.

Faby was wonderful. She was able to groom my dogs the day after I called her. She did a great job grooming both of my dogs. She is knowledgeable, caring, and very accommodating. 😊

Friendly and attentive, and best of all, my dog was happy too :)

Worst service! Never going back!
